The error messages indicate that your debconf database (usually located at /var/cache/debconf) has been corrupted by the crash. I'd suggest you purge the debconf cache (i.e. all files in /var/cache/debconf), if you don't mind to answer all old questions again that debconf asks you when you install/upgrade a package. I had the same problem and even submitted a bug, because my system hadn't crashed for a long time and I had never touched the database files... (message log still available at the debconf bugs page, #191690) Hope this helps, Jan C. Nordholz
